Social protection financing


Social protection financing

Overview

We are dedicated to optimising social protection and child protection systems to promote human development within the Young World. Social protection encompasses a set of policies and programmes designed to shield individuals from poverty and mitigate risks to their livelihoods and well-being.

      Social care services

      The delivery of social care services is an essential component of social protection and child protection systems. Such services include psychological support, drug rehabilitation and care for the elderly, disabled, victims of violence and abuse and other vulnerable groups.
